    This two-story building at Gansevoort and Greenwich Streets, built in 1947-48 to designs by Horace Ginsbern & Associates, was the last purpose-built market building in what is now the Gansevoort Market Historic District. It had cold storage on the ground floor, interior truck-loading bays and offices upstairs. Most tenants dealt in poultry, among them Producers Distributing Agency (1947-80), Norbest Turkey Growers Association and Rockingham Poultry Marketing Cooperative.
